Just curious if this is true or not  -  Apple IIgs 10 anniversay edition
with orginal boxes

Was there an actual 10th anniversary of the IIgs?  or was this the Apple II?
And if so what would something like this be worth with original boxes?

Looking to expand my collection of Apple II related stuff.

Thanks, for any assistance.

I don't remember anything like that.

There was a 20th anniversary Macintosh, which is sort of a mangling since it's a Macintosh rather than an Apple II, but was released to mark the 20th anniversary of the company, though it came out in 1997 so maybe it really represents the 20th anniversary of the Apple II rather than start of the company with the Apple I. Companies often want to rewrite history, so if Apple wanted to pretend nothing happened before the Mac, they would rather issue a computer for the 20th anniversary of the company rather than the 20th anniversary of their really successful product.
